MK Allocate billable expense to loan payment

I have a management company (MCLLC) that gets reimbursed by my client for expenses and other payments. MCLLC bills its monthly car loan payment to the client.

I have created Billable Items in QB for other reimbursements. 

In general, when MCLLC gets a bill, I enter it in QB as a Billable Item to a Customer Job. Then, I create an Invoice for my client with that expense.

For the car loan when I create an invoice for my client I want the payment to be allocated to Interest Expense and the principal portion applied to the Long Term Liability Car Loan.  

Any thoughts.

MK Allocate billable expense to loan payment

Hello, @devapatir.

 

Thank you for the detailed information. I can guide you on how you can use your customer's payments to allocate it to your interest expense and loan.

 

First, you have to record the payment, then deposit the amount on your bank account. Once done, you can use that account when writing a check for the interest expense and the long-term car loan.

 

To record the payment on the client's invoice:

 

  1. Go to the Customers tab, then click Receive Payments from the drop-down.
  2. Pick the customer's beside the Received From section, then choose the invoice/s you want to mark as paid. 
  3. Select a bank account where you want to deposit the funds beside Deposit To. If your account was set-up to deposit the payments automatically to the Undeposited Funds, deposit it to the desired bank account.
  4. Save the transaction.

Then, here's how you can record your loan and interest payment:

 

  1. From the Banking tab, tap on Write Checks.
  2. Select the account where you deposited payment on the Bank Account field.
  3. Fill in the required information, then click on Save and Close.
